Crystal Lenard of Cleveland High School wrote, "This program helped me in so many ways. Not only did I learn about business, but I learned how to live my life in a successful way. I take the things, from this camp that only went on for one week, and I apply the things I learned to everyday life and will continue throughout my life time. This experience has changed my life for the better. Thank you so much."
